Where this comes from
The official form is published by nt.gov.au; this page is a completion guide. Last checked on 2026-10-22.
When to use it
Use when a Northern Territory small claim is for money owed or for damages, and this Debt or damages statement of claim is the file. Do not use the motor-vehicle collision form for a goods or services dispute. The lawyer checks the forum and checks Local Court Form 7A before filing a second claim. The tool does not write the claim or the declaration of service.
Used for these tasks
Each task page says how far AI may help with the task and what the lawyer must review.
How AI may be used
AI may check that the debt-or-damages file is the one on the matter and list the page's steps. The lawyer writes the statement of claim and the declaration of service.
AI may
- Check the file name statement-of-claim-of-debt-or-damages against the PDF or DOCX on the file
- List the 28-day period the page gives in a letter of demand for money owed
- Flag the goods form and the motor-vehicle collision form as different files on the same page
AI must not
- Must not draft the statement of claim or the amount claimed
- Must not draft the declaration of service. If it is a statutory declaration or an affidavit, the tool writes nothing in it
- Must not call this file an NTCAT form or Local Court Form 7A
- Must not invent a fee or a form number
- Must not sign or lodge the claim
The lawyer checks
- The claim is for debt or damages, not for a motor-vehicle collision and not for goods to be returned or replaced
- The forum is checked against the page's $25,000, $25,001 to $250,000, and above $250,000 bands
- Local Court Form 7A is a different publication. This page does not identify these files as Form 7A
- The letter of demand for money owed, on this page, asks for a reasonable period within 28 days. That letter is not this form
- The court's or tribunal's current index is checked before assuming a generative-AI practice direction applies. None was stated on the page opened for this guide.
Method: how the Green, Yellow and Red levels are decided. This is guidance for planning, not legal advice.
